Chapter 67: It Really Is Too Damn Embarrassing

Changping Chen Family

Yan Qingshuang hurried into the courtyard with her bag and saw her eldest daughter-in-law, Miao Xiaohe, in the yard: "Xiaohe, your grandfather hasn't gone out, has he?"

Miao Xiaohe pointed toward the back yard: "No, he's in the back yard."

Yan Qingshuang walked quickly toward the back yard and saw the old man working on a seedling pool: "Dad, are you planning to go to Willow Village in the next few days?"

The old man was busy with the work in his hands and didn't even lift his head: "Yes."

Yan Qingshuang no longer cared that the freshly turned soil might dirty her newly bought leather shoes, and walked over in a few steps: "Dad, I just got news that Liu Shanliang injured his leg and went to the city for treatment, he's not at home. The gifts you had people prepare won't be needed."

What she didn't say was that she had already privately decided to have the supply cooperative stop holding those things.

The old man, hearing his eldest daughter-in-law's words, immediately understood how she had found out: "How could they not be needed? With such a big thing happening, in both reason and sentiment, we should make the trip even more."

Yan Qingshuang was getting worked up: "I heard the person is seriously injured. Even going to a big hospital in the city, there's no guarantee the leg can be saved. Even the Liu family has already split from them."

The old man, hearing this, straightened his back and was frowning, about to say something, when his eldest daughter-in-law spoke again: "Dad, I never agreed to this match in the first place. If it's really as those people say, and Liu Shanliang's leg can't be cured, how heavy a burden would that be later? A family like that would only drag Weiping down.

Besides, you've seen Weiping's attitude too. If we really push them together, I'm afraid the days ahead won't go well either."

How could Chen Xiao Laoyezi fail to guess his eldest daughter-in-law's meaning: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Yan Qingshuang knew she wasn't being fair doing this, but for her son's sake, let her be the villain: "Dad, actually there are many ways to repay a kindness, it doesn't have to be a marriage match. And Weiping is very resistant to this match right now, we can't wrong him either, after all, this is a matter of a lifetime."

Chen Xiao Laoyezi took a deep breath: "The girl will be eighteen in another year, and her family has had this happen to them. If we show up now to call off the engagement, where do you expect me to put this old face of mine?"

Yan Qingshuang's face burned hot: "Dad, a marriage match is about goodwill between two families, but given the situation now, I have to consider Weiping more.

Right now their family is going through the hardest time. In my view, it's better to send some money over, lay things out plainly. If they know what's proper, they should be able to understand our feelings."

While the two were talking, they heard an exclamation from the front yard: "Weiping, what happened to you?"

Yan Qingshuang no longer cared about anything else, turned and headed toward the front yard: "What happened?"

Chen Weiping was about to go inside first to change his clothes when he heard his mother's voice: "Where on earth have you been running off to?"

He hadn't expected his mother to be home at this hour: "Let me change clothes first, I'll tell you in a bit."

But Yan Qingshuang, without getting to the bottom of it, how could she possibly let him into the house: "Tell me, what on earth happened to you?"

Chen Weiping's face was a picture of mortification and fury — it really was too damn embarrassing.

He and Hu Liru had finally endured until they got off the bus, but because they were walking too fast, he bumped into someone at the bus station entrance.

Hu Liru, in a bad mood, had said a few unpleasant things, and the person wouldn't let it go. He had fought with the person to protect her, but unfortunately he had underestimated that person's strength, and ended up looking like this mess.

But if he told the truth now, his mother would eat Xiaoru alive: "Mom, I'll tell you in a bit, let me change my clothes first, they're filthy."

At this moment, Chen Xiao Laoyezi also walked over and said with a dark expression: "After you change, come to the main room. I have something to ask you."
